The menu changes periodically to take advantage of all that characterizes a particular season, though there are a few classics that remain on the menu throughout the year, like its very popular Grilled and Carved Bistro Steak, served with white truffle-laced pommes frites, arugula,and red wine jus. A consistent winner of Wine Spectator's prestigious Award of Excellence, it offers numerous wines by the glass, wine flights, and a more extensive bottle list. A full-service bar is also available.

    We have been here a couple of times now and really enjoyed both, to the point that even though we’re 30 minutes away will make it one of our regular restaurants. The food was delicious and all 4 of us liked our meals very much (swordfish, fettuccine carbonara, etc). Great sauces, flavors and homemade pasta that was light and tasty! Our server was delightful and patient with us as we were slow to order doing much talking. The ambience is also very nice, casually warm with an understated elegance. The bar is also a great spot to wait for a table if needed, but also great to eat there if just two. I highly recommend!

    Avery was an attentive waitress and a pleasant individual. She helped make the experience more enjoyable. The clam chowder is an excellent appetizer, the roast beef expertly prepared. This is one of our favorite restaurants.

    Had an excellent dinner at Brushmill at their latest “Burgers, Bourbon, and Brews” night. Both my wife and my burger were cooked to perfection and delicious. The fries put even McDonald’s to shame. If you enjoy Manhattans and old fashioned cocktails, they nailed those too. Service wise, couldn’t ask for better. Water was kept filled (with complimentary Fiji water), drinks never went empty without ordering a refill, and all the staff including the manager and owner were lovely to talk to.

    Four of us had a very lovely late lunch. The only reason I did not give the food 5 stars was the fish & Chips had a bit too much coating on it.The waitress was excellent.
